201112 has been a year of

consolidation and transformation

at Carlton Lodge. We have made

significant progress in replacing lost

business from last year. Newcustomers include Millthorpe School

from York who brought 118 pupils in

the last week of the summer term.

Because we could only offer 98 beds

in accommodation we housed the

overflow in two twenty-man scout tents,

providing the students with sleeping

bags, mats and pillows - our first foray

into catered camping packages.

Another School from York, Manor CE

Schools came on 3 consecutive 3-day

inclusive packages, each with 72

people. We also hosted a group who

were piloting the Governments new

National Citizenship Service project,

a programme with which we will bemuch more engaged in 2012 -13.

The year saw a successful campaign

to encourage FE colleges to use

activities at the Lodge as part of their

induction programmes. Kirklees and

Middlesbrough colleges were but two of

several who benefited from using

adventurous activities to help youngstudents to get to know each other

through their shared experiences of

the day.

Our Holiday Activity Days have

become well established in the

local community as an alternative to

child care for 8 14 year olds with

attendance growing throughout

the year.

The Family Fun Day at the end of July was

also attended by over 250 people.

Through the dedication and energy

of Miles Bradshaw the Carlton LodgeBursary Fund was established. Carlton

Lodge was selected by Ladbrookes

Northallerton Branch as their charity

of the year, and we also received

generous grants from many of the Lions

and Round Table groups around the

county.

In September 2011 50 volunteers

from O2 Telefonica carried out

various tasks around the site as part

of their Think Big programme. The

relationship continued into 2012 when

a second team converted the games

room into a facility that could be

used as a dining area, renovating the

kitchen and preparing the old staffshowers in the Stables to be converted

into a laundry.

Finally, as part of the staff re-

organisation, we recruited seasonal

facilities staff to replace our previous

reliance on casual staff supporting the

housekeeping and catering delivery.

This was a great success, leading toimproved cost-effectiveness and

efficiency, as well as increased scores

on evaluation forms.

2012-13 promises to be our busiest

year ever and the foundations built in

2011-12 will serve as a firm base on

which to build.

YOUTH CLUB SUPPORT

This year we have continued to support

our members by carrying out regular

youth club visits, responding to leader

concerns and providing usefulresources. We have resumed our

membership to Keyfund and continue

to offer young people access to this

funding.

The nature of the support we provide

to our 45 member clubs is always

diverse, and this year was no exception.

Our Fieldworkers continue to provide

advice and support on developing

appropriate policies and practices, and

advice on access to the latest funding,

resources and activities. In return,

conditions of membership are followed

in order to record and demonstrate the

sectors provision of safe and

appropriate activities for young people.

This year saw a significant change

in the way we report voluntary youth

activity across the county as we made

the move to using North Yorkshire

County Councils Aspire database. The

intention of this is to allow voluntary

sector youth work to be recognised and

recorded in comparable terms along-side statutory provision.

Finally, congratulations to Richie Bastow,

our Youth Work Apprentice seconded

from NYCC. Richie completed his

apprenticeship earlier this year and

achieved a level 3 in Youth Work

practice.

NATIONAL CITIZEN SERVICE

The team worked intensively from

December to promote the scheme

and secure expressions of interest from

young people across York and North

Yorkshire. Progress in recruitment by

March 2012 was on-target.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE...

In the coming year we will be

mapping youth activity from all

providers and identify potential areas

for development. We will be offering

further volunteer training and

producing tools to help clubs improve

their safety and increase their

engagement.

Our training activity has developed

since we became an accredited centre

with OCN. From January to March

2012 we delivered to 21 learners,

with 3 learners accumulating the 10credits required for an Award in

Youth Work Practice. Lucy and Clare

started an assessor course with OCN,

and Lucy has also undertaken a Level 4

course to improve practice.

We developed a short course as part

of the Starting Fresh NEET partnership.

As an accredited provider we can workwith small groups of young people

as part of their progress towards work,

training or education.

Our training programme and Starting

Fresh work enables us to progress our

aim of providing devlopment

opportunities for young people and

adults, and wil secure our status as atraining provider in North Yorkshire.

Last year, I reported that North

Yorkshire Youth had suffered financially

from the austerity measures that had

been implemented by the then new

Coalition Government. We anticipatedthat these measures would continue to

adversely affect our historically core

business in the current year, and we

therefore undertook a root and branch

review of all our systems and costs,

with a view to increasing our efficiency

and cost effectiveness.

This review was completed, and

together with the diversification

programme facilitated by the Grant

received from the Governments

Transition Fund, has placed the

Organisation in a much stronger

position to succeed in the current

challenging economic conditions.

RESULTS

The measure of our success in

identifying cost savings and new

business opportunities is the level of

Incoming Resources from Charitable

Activities shown on the Accounts. Our

income from Booking Fees and

Awaydays etc has increased from

414,134 last year to 458,069 this time,an increase of 43,935, or 10.6%.

In these recessionary times, I believe

this is a remarkable outcome, and I

would like to take this opportunity of

congratulating the Chief Executive

and the whole of his team on

achieving this result, and thank them

for the enormous amount of hard work

that has been necessary to reach this

position.

However, there is still much work to

do. As you will see, the Organisation

has still incurred a slight overall loss

of 17,188 in the year, and this needs

to be reversed in order to put theCharity on a firm financial footing.

I am confident that the continued cost

savings and new business will achieve

that result despite the continuing harsh

trading conditions.

In the meanwhile, our Bankers, Lloyds

TSB, have remained hugely understand-

ing, approachable and supportive,

helping us over short-term cash flow

problems, and generally offering sen-

sible and prudent financial advice,

advice that has been reinforced by

the continued support of our Auditors,

Chipchase, Manners. My thanks to both

of these organisations.

THE FUTURE

Trading in the current year is on budget,

and I hope that we will see North

Yorkshire Youth producing a surplus in

the year. This is the result that we are all

striving to achieve, as only by making

these surpluses can we produce the

cash we need to continue to improvethe services that we offer to the young

people of North Yorkshire and the wid-

er area.
